Sold To The Gangster Billionaire

“She’s so beautiful Cora” Yolanda complimented.

“Yes she is Yola. Luna is a very beautiful girl, and hard-working too. She’s also a virgin and I’m sure she’s going to make a great sell” Cora laughs.

“A virgin? Wow! Exactly what I’ve been looking for. You’re a genius Cora, how come you hid such beautiful wine for so long? She’s sure going to make a great sell” Yola said and walked to me.

She stood in front of me and touched my cheeks, I stood still, wishing there’s a way I can slap her hand off my face.

“What’s your name, beautiful one?” Ms. Yolanda asked me.

“Luna” I replied and took my eyes away from her.

My dad had refused to come down stairs and I know he just can’t stand the scene, I know for sure he’ll be somewhere, hearing our discussion.

“Luna. That’s a nice name, What your mom said…” I immediately cut her shut.

“Cora, is not my mother” I snapped.

She don’t deserve me, Not only me, she don’t deserve to have a child, she don’t deserve to be called a mother. All she knows and cares about is Money, Money and Money. Some people really have to learn that there’s nothing more valuable that love. Love lasts forever especially family love but Money, Money fades with time.

“Oh! Sorry about that.” Yolanda apologized and continued.

“So, I just want to ask, Before making another move, I ant to confirm what your… Step mom just said” She said and I remained silent.

“Are you a virgin, Luna” she asked and I kept quiet.

My step mom buckled on me to say something but I ignored her.

“Yolanda, I think she’s just scared, don’t you trust me? Luna is still a virgin” Cora told her.

Wait, she’s not only selling me out but as a…? What has my Virginity got to do with this? I didn’t hesitate to ask her either.

“What has my Virginity gotten to do with this? Are you selling me as a sex slave or what?”

“That is not something you should know” Cora snapped and I nodded.

“You can go to your room now , Luna. I’ll talk to your stepmom and then I’ll come fetch you” Ms Yolanda said and I nodded, walking back into my room.

I glanced at my stepmom who was still having her wicked smile plastered on her face, I rolled my eyes and walked back to my room. I’ve promised my father I’m not going to cry.

I’m going to be strong and accept whatever that comes to my way, I should take this as I’ve if life challenges. Even do it seems so hard for me, learning to live without family. That is just the worst dream ever!

CORA’S POV

“You sure made the right decision , Cora. I promise you Luna is going to make a great sell”

“I know that, She’s beautiful and will attract a lot of men. She not just beautiful but also a virgin,” I smiled.

“Virgins tends to sell more. Mr. White dropped by yesterday and bought 15 girls, But he demanded he needed a virgin” Yolanda said to me and I smiled.

“Then, Luna is ready” I smiled.

“Yes, Cora. But you must be very sure she’s a virgin”

“I assure you that”

“Kids of nowadays know much more that their age, You might be seeing Luna and probably be assuming her to still be that little girl with no mother but she might know more than her age , if not , had gone really far” Yolanda said.

“I understand what you’re saying, Yola. But Luna stays indoor all door , under my watch. I’m very sure she’s still intact down there” I said and she nodded.

“So, let’s get down to businesses, I need to start going now” Yola said.

“I’ll be paying you $3, 000” She said opening her briefcase .

“$3, 000 for her?” I asked and she nodded.

“Come on Yola, I’ve been in this business with you for a while now. Don’t try to cheat me, I know how expensive Virgins are. Damn! Are you even looking at that girl in there?” I said pointing to the direction of Luna’s too..

Yolanda sighed. “Mm Cora, you still haven’t changed”

“Ofcourse, I can’t change, not when it has to do with money” I rolled my eyes.

“I’ve wanted to ask, What did Sam said about this? You and I know how much he loves Evelyn, not to talk of her daughter” Yola said.

“Don’t act like a kid. I’ve him wrapped round my tips, I still have his secret and he dare not say no to me” I laugh.

“You don’t have the evidence Cora”

“Well , Yes you’re right. But Sam believe I still does and I won’t want him to find out there’s no evidence, else I’m doomed”.

“Yeah. You’d be very Careful Cora” Yolanda said and I nodded.

“I’ll be paying $4, 000 then.”

“Make it $4, 500 and she’s all yours” I said smiling.

“You’re such a bad lady” She laugh.

LUNA’S POV

Cora came to call me that Yolanda is ready to leave, with me.

I carried my bag and walked to the living room where they were waiting for me. The woman behind Yolanda help me talk my bag to their car.

“It was nice doing business with You , Cora” Yolanda smiled.

Tears filled my eyes. I’m a business, My father owns no right to me now. I’m moving away, from my family, Completely.

God! I just want to wake up from such terrible dream. Yolanda led me to the car and I entered, She instructed the driver to start the engine.

“Trust me Luna. You’re going to enjoy your new home” Yolanda smiled.

There’s never going to be a new home for me. My father is my new and old home. Yolanda is just like Cora, I hate the both of them.

I’m just sold. Like an item. As the car starts driving out of my father’s compound. I tried to stare through the window, holding to see my father.

For the last time.

But he was not there, I couldn’t even get a glimpse of him. More tears flow down my cheeks.

Pains and more pains were all that ran through my veins.

LUNA’S POV

The car came to a halt in a compound and Ms Yolanda got down, I joined her and got down too. The other woman whom I realised her name was Mia, brought down my bag from the boot and handed it to me.

“Luna, Follow Mia. She’s going to take you to where your types are” Yolanda said.

What does she mean by my type? Oh! She means those who doesn’t have a say in their life.

I carried my bag of clothes and start trailing behind Mia. The house is a very big one and it’s beautifully built. Mia took me upstairs and then opened a door.

Who will believe that inside such beautiful house there’s a room that looks like where ants live?. There were so many girls in the room and I knew I’m going to join them.

In as much as I’m confused on what is going to be our job here or what they are doing with us, I couldn’t ask questions. Mia led me in and walked out without a word.

Some of the girls were in tears , while some look less concerned, Some were sleeping on each other’s lap. I’m just going to join those crying cause I really need to cry my pains away. I went to sit by a corner, Cling my bag to myself, I rested my head on the bag and continued looking at the girls in the room.

There’s so many amount of unwanted people in this world,” I said to myself sadly.

Why give birth to us when you know you’re not going to let us grow up with you? My case is different though. This is the last thing my mother would do if she’s alive.

I sadly tried to remember my daddy at home. I’ve grown up beside him for 18 years and now I have to learn to live without him. I’ve to learn to live in a total different world.

Someone else is still going to drop by, talk to Ms Yolanda and then exchange me again for money. I’m going to start living with who ever that buys me. I prayed silently that I don’t get sold out to a bad guy, Someone who’ll make my already miserable life, worst.

The girls in the room were all quiet now, They’ve all dozed off expect for five girls and me. We were just quiet and I could guess what the other is thinking about. What else? If not about how life has treated us.

How life has dealt and cheated on us.

“What’s your name?” One the ladies among the five asked me.

“Luna” I said to her and she nodded.

The other girls just glanced at me and took their eyes away.

“My name is Linda” She smiled.

She’s beautiful I must say, But she need a complete touch to prove that.

“Nice” i simply said.

YOLANDA’S POV

“Hello, Mr. White” I said to the receiver of my phone call.

“Hello, Yolanda. Did my package arrive?” He said and I nodded. Like he can see me.

“Yes. There are about five of them, you’ll have to come and pick the one you want” I told him.

“No problem Yola, I’ll drop by on my way after this meeting” He said.

“Okay, Mr. White” I disconnected the call.

“Ma’am, We have some buyers , should I usher them in?” Mia said walking to my office.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Ofcourse” i smiled.

Business have been going alot this week and I’m enjoying it.

LUNA’S POV

The door of the room we were in opened and Ms Yolanda walked in with a man probably in his late fifty’s. He look old and I prayed silently I don’t get to be picked by him.

This man is almost my father’s age, No! He’s older that my father.

I noticed how the girls all started crying and hiding behind eachother. Everyone is hoping not to get bought, Maybe this man doesn’t treat them right. Maybe their story is even worst than my story.

“I’ll take that fair one over there” The man pointed at Linda.

Linda stared at me and I immediately looked away, She look sad but she’s one of the ladies who’s able to control and hide their pains.

“And those two, too” He pointed to another two ladies.

“And that’s all” He concluded and I breathed heavily down. I wasn’t picked.

“Okay Mr. Max, I’ll tell Mia to arrange them for you” Ms Yolanda said.

They both walked out of the room and some seconds later, Mia walked in and picked out Linda and the other two girls, She walked out with them.

The room was silent and I could feel everyone is still scared.

“You’re a bad luck, Linda had been with us for two weeks and no one wants to buy us because we cling together and act like crazy people, but just today that you came in and Linda sat beside you, She got pointed at” One of the ladies, among the five with Linda earlier, told me.

“I don’t know what your talking about” I simply said to her.

“I pray you get sold to a man in 80’s” she hissed loudly and faced the wall.

I sighed and ignored her, I opened my bag which I’m still clinged on with and brought out a Novel, then start reading.
